But if I were looking to improve it...<BR/><BR/>I might try to adjust the white balance to bring back the color as you saw it. I am thinking setting it to tungsten would help. You might have to go a bit further in Photoshop or Lightroom.<BR/><BR/>By doing that you drop the overall yellow/red cast to the image a bit. This will help the fire which obviously is the same color to stand out a bit more. Then I would add an adjustment layer, well two. A selective color adjustment where I added color to the fire (red and yellow) and a saturation boost as well.<BR/><BR/>I might have tried to shoot a bit tighter and from a different vantage point. Those lines make me crazy. I know there is little you can do about that.<BR/><BR/>I would try to reposition or try and get rid of them in Photoshop.<BR/><BR/>I know they are part of the story but they can sometimes be a bit distracting.<BR/><BR/>I downloaded this image and worked on it a bit. I am emailing it to you now. Drop me a line if you have any questions.Brian Bastinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402221552368724858noreply@blogger.com
